CORONERS.—At the last Quarter Sessions for Essex, held at Chelmsford, J. DISNUY, Esq. of the Hyde, in Ingatestone, Recorder of Bridport, delivered to the Bench a very forcible and animated speech relative to the prac tice of the COUNTY CORONERS, in sending their Clerks and others as Deputies, to administer oaths to Jurors and take Inquests; in the course of which the Learned Gentleman pointed out, with much perspicuity, the great evil that might arise from the want of judgment or care lessness in those employed having no responsibi lity on themselves ; es also, that in the event of an inquest so taken being traversed in the Court of King's Bench, it would inevitably be attended with unpleasant circumstances to the Coroner.— It seems that the Coroners, being elected by Free holders in their respective Counties, are as nod) baniid as a Member of the House of Commons or a Verdnrer of the King's Forests, to execute their functions personally, and that they legally have no claiM for the County remuneratian unless their Inquests be so taken. PREVENTION OF FORGERY..—We mentioned on Thursday that a Commisssion had been appoint ed under the Great Seal to inquire into the best means of preventing the forgery of Bank-notes. ‘Ve understand that among the plans already sub mitted to the Commission is a new one, which has as yet in no way been alluded to in the public pricts, and which appears to be of a very simple and efficacious nature. According to this plan, the words necessary to express the obligation to pay the bearer of the note are to be white, on a black ground, but the black ground to consist of lines of letter-press, composed with very small types of a peculiar fount ; the face of the charac ter being made as large. .s the body, the lines of the ground will appear compact and regular, and Will still he perfectly legible when closely examined. The whole letter-press may form either a single story, or a collection or de. tached sentences. The wortk of the promissory part of the note are to be produced by cutting the letters out of the black ground, so that when the note is primed the white characters will et oNs black lines in a great number of places ; the points of intersection will be easily recognised by the public, in consequence of the words. through which they will pass being known, and thus a means of detecting forgery on inspection will be afforded. DREADFUL PARRICIDE.—Extract of a Letter from Vienna, dated Slily 15 : " A dreadful parricide has lately been commit ted in one of the first noble houses in the county of Pest. The wretched criminal, a youth of 20 years of age, seems to have grown up in every kind of excess, and expressed to his father two years ago his intention to shoot him. He was upon this put into confinement, and having now just returned from his confinement to his father's house, a quarrel again arose between the fa ther and the •son. The latter went into his room ; his father followed, hut had scarcely reached the door when the son fired a double barrelled gun, which wounded the father in the breast, and stretched hint on the ground. A stew ard, who had been present at the first dispute, and had also gone into his room, hastened to the spot, when the son discharged the second barrel ; it wounded his dying Lather in the head, and also the steward in the arm. Thereupon the mur derer shut himself up in his room for two days, and did not open the door till it was represented to hint, that he, as the present possessor of the estate, had various orders to give. As soon as, he came out he was seized and delivered over to jus tice." DETERMINED ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE.. —Sunday, the wife of a cabinet-maker, residing in Broad court, Curtain-road, Shoreditch, was found hanging in her room •by a cord, and almost dead. She was cut down, and by medical assist ance placed out of danger, b u t on Tuesday the landlady of the house was alarmed by hearing a peculiar noise up stairs, and on going up to dis cover the cause, was shocked to find the unfortu nate woman again suspended in the same place.— She was quite black in the face, and the cord had sunk very deep into the flesh of her neck ; the landlady immediately eat her down,and again sent for a surgeon, who ristored suspended animation. She is now in a fair tray of recovery. OETRY. ON SIR FRANCIS'S TRIUMPH. On being Second on the Poll at Westminster.

ELEGY ON THE DEATH OF HIS ONLY CHILD, By the Rev. JAMES HOLME, OF SOUTIIMINSTER, ESSEX. Farewell, sweet Babe! thy life's contracted span Is finish'd, ere the dawn of reason's day; Thine infant bud ne'er blossorn'd into man, Ne'cr learnt thy lips the lisping prattler's way. Yet happy thou! remor'd to bliss on high, From human ills, and wretchedness below. Their lot, than thine, mote claims the piteous sigh, Whose " life protracted is protracted woe." Thy sorrowing parents, dear departed Boy, • Whose earthly hopes were built on thee alone; To them thy absence deadens every joy : 'Tis all a dreary blank, fur thou art gone. Their bread is ashes, and their drink is fears; And groans the converse of the tedious hour. Hope sickens, and the fate too hard appears, That could destroy, alas ! co prized a flower. Thy poor fond Mother, Whose enraptur'd heart, Like circling iey.ronnd her infant twined, Still hears thee, sees thee, from thee cannot part;; Flee soul refuses comfort else to find. Still morbid fancy pictures to her eye Thy nascent beauties opening by degrees ; I❑ every breath she-hears the wonted cry, In every hitting shade thine image sees. That look, that smile, those little winning ways, That beaming eye,, that cheek's vetthilliou bloom, She views in reverie, and delights to gaze, Till fancy's babble bursts upon the tomb. Then heaves her bosom with acuter throes, And ad the Mother Marts into her ;air : " Those little lids shall never more unclose ; " Nor little hands be twisted in her hair. " Cold, cold, in death ; fast locked in that embrace " Tenacious, which its prey resigneth not, Those tender limbs must moulder in the place, " Where all things are forsaken and forgot 1" Nor let thy Father's moderated grief To blunted feelings be ascribed alone, Oft starts the tear unseen to his relief, The lonely path bears witness to his moan ; Then, when, to th' height of contemplation wrought, He ownstbe brittle hopes of human kind, Thy tor'd idea bursts the chain of thought, And past endearments rush upon his mind. He thinks how oft, beneath the rays of noon, His infant treasure in his arms be bore, And thank'd the bounteous skies for such a boon, And little dreamt the-bliss would soon be o'er. He thinks with anguish on that night of woe, When roused from sleep by female shrieks and cries, In wild alarm he rushed the cause to know, And heard th' appalling words, " he dies, he dies!" He thinks how, pillowed in his eager' ams, Snatched from the nurse's grasp his darling lay, And while the mansion echoed with alarms, Sighed, gently sighed, its little life away. Sweet soul, wherever placed, supremely blest, Or in Elysian, or ewlestial bower, (For heavenly touches in thy looks confest, Bespoke thee Angel, from thy natal hour,) Sweet spirit, hover nightly o'er the head Of her whose dreams are clouded with despair, And round her brows benignest influence shed, A Mother's anguish claims a Cherub's care. But dream I, and in hopeless hope secure, Illusion's dupe, indulge a solace vain ; As tho' to sense and faculties mature 1:11' unprisoned spirit could by death attain; And infant soul, which scarely knew desire, And knew concei ti for others not at all, Enlarged affections should at once acyrire, And hear, and listen to Affliction's call ? Hush, ilnpious pride! perturbed sprite, be laid ! • Nor dare the powers of Deity to seal: : Who spoke the word, and Heaven cod Earth were made; Gaa speak an infant spirit into man : Can feelings give, essential to its bliss ; Good will to men ; condolence with distress: What daring sceptic but assents to this,- -" Adsuit the greater, you admit the less ?" Then fed I confident, that tho' entombed . Thy mortal sleeps, net so thy better part, But only then with life and vigour bloomed, When the last pang convulsed that precious heart; And confident that Heaven, the wretch's friend, To wr;qched parents prompt support tvill yield; And, in their babe, a guardian angel send, Their mind:: from dark despondency to,sbield. SHOOTER'S HILL.--The improvements which were begun at this place about twelve months ago are nom ctimpleted, to the great accommo dation cethe numerous travellers who have oc casion every day to pass over the bill. The highest part of the road has been reduced about nine feet lower than it was formerly. The work commenced at the eight-mile stone, on this side of the hill, and has been extended to the other side, for the distance of near a mile. At this spot a. very great steep, which was a perpetual obstruc tion to carriages, has been removed. A similar steep has been cut away on the eastern side, and with tlse gravel that was removed, the lower part of the road, at the bottom of, the hill, has been considerably raised. On the summit of the hill, near the Bull Inn, the greatest cut of all has been made. Indeed there is now such a deep hollow in front of this and the adjacent houses be longing to private Gentlemen, that it has been found necessary to place a railing along the edge of the footway, to protect those who walk along from falling down into the carriage road. . O'Donnel, a first-rate pugilist of light weight, has challenged Abbot, who beat Jones, for 50 guineas. THE THEATRE, HAYtIARKET.—We are glad to find that the protracted season of the winter Theatres is by no means likely to be injurious to this region of fashionable amusement ; but, on the contrary, that it seems to have given an increased stimulus to public curiosity, as is visible in a crowded HOUSC almost every night. The name and the talents of the Manager, the merit of the Per formers whom he has assembled, and the entertain ing quality of the general reprefentations, will, in deed, well account for the attraction of iheTheatre. The pieces last night were The Travellers Benighted, a piece of strong terrific interest, The Sleep ffniktir, a whimsical drama, in which Mr. J RusseLt. appears to great advantage, and finally X. Y. Z. the Manager's own laughable farce, which fell a temporary sacrifice to private difierences,but which concord has happily restored to the public, and added to the stock-pieces of this popular Theatre: The whole went off with very great success. By the way, we wish that the frequenters of the lower boxes near the Stage would not become such loquacious Performers themselves, ,as they very mush obstruct the entertainment of more ra tional visitors. Miss O'NEILL and Mr. ABBOTT are performing with great success at Edinbutth. The House is full every a circumstance in which all must rejoice, on •account of the amiable character of Mrs. H. SIDDoNS and her family. Miss STEPHENS reached Dublin on Saturday last - , and was to perform in the Theatre at night. Public expectation was on tip-toe to receive her. Miss S. BOOTH voluntarily resigned her situa tion at Covent Garden Theatre, on account of the delicacy of her health, after a very severe and alarming illness, wisely preferring, a theatrical tour through the cottony, in order to combine health, profit, and pleasure. So pleasing an Ac tress, with so amiable a character, must secure favour and friendship wherever she goes, and she is sure of a hearty welcome on her return to the Metropolis. Mrs. WRENCH, the wife of Mr. WRENCH', of the Lyceum Theatre, is, from what we have beat d, an Actress of such merit that she well deserves to be transferred horn Provincial Boards to a London Theatre. This pleasing Actress, we understand, is now performing with great eclut at Warwick, and under the protection of the most distinguished Ladies and Persons of consequence in the vicinity. Lady CHARLOTTE WYNN is one of her most zealous Patronesses, public and private. In order that we may judge of her stile of acting, which is highly spirited, our Correspondent informs us her last character was illeg illerrilies, in the Opera of Git4l Mannering, in which she has been received with very great applause. REGISTER OF FASHION. FASHIONABLE DEPARTURES. The Duke and Duchess of Argyll, and the Ladies Paget, on: a tour; Earl and Countess of Coventry and family, and Lady Augusta Cotton, for the Continent; Mrs. Fitzhcibert and Miss Seymour, on a tour; Right Hon. Richard Ryder, on a tour; Lord and Lady Petre, fur Thorndon-ball, in Essex; General Grosvenor., for Stocken-ball, in Rutlandshire. COMPETITION OF PIPERS.—At Ike annual COM ! . petition for prizes given by the Highland Society of London to the five best performers on the great Highland bag-pipe, held in the Theatre- Royal, Edinbnrgh, on the 22d instant, Sir JOHN MACGREGOR MURRAY, Bart. who was Preses of the Judges on this occasion, in delivering the Prizes to the successful Candidates, addressed them severally in very - appropriate terms. " The qualifications of a piper," he observed, " were not limited to his being a good performer on die favourite instrument, and properly dressed in the true garb nt his ancestors. There were others not less indispeh. ' , le. His conduct ought to he strictly correct, and he must never turn his back upon his friend or upon his enemy. The piper had al ways held an honourable rank in the estimation of our ancestors, and his post was in the front of his comrades on the day of danger. This honour able place had still been continued to him ; his station on such occasions was most generally in the front of his regiment; and there it was bis duty to march forward with thecooldetermination of a true Highlander, stimulating his companions to heroic deeds by the sound of the favourite piobrach of their country." The Countess of ST. GERMAINS, we are sorry to state, died on Sunday morning, at two o'clock, at his Lordship's seat, Port Eliot, Cornwall. Her Ladyship had been ill for some months ; she was in her 53d year.—(Morning Post.) The 87th Regiment have arrived from Colches ter at Sheerness, where they are to be stationed until further orders. The 39th Regiment, which arrived from Malta, on Tuesday last, in the Downs, are at present quartered at Deal. The Regiment is upwards of 900 strong. The detachments of the 10th, 14th, 31st, and 36th, which came on board the same transports, are at Dover. The present summer has been the warmest since that of 1779. The previous winter and spring were then so mild, that green peas were sold in May at one shilling the peck measure. The 6( r Inotneter was at 78 on the 15th of April, and the hawthorns were in blossom three or four days af ter that period. Many persons think Brsll will sell the two Prizes of 30,0001. in the Lottery which begins drawing next Tuesday; and we presume this opi nion arises from his having shared two in the last Lottery which °contained Prizes of that amount, or perhaps it is from his having sold Nine Prizes of 30,0001. in the last 10 years, and there having been but 13 in all during that period. We are requested to state, that Mr. CoLBURg has just received from the Continent, and is pre paring for immediate publication, The Memoirs of Count de Las Cases, the companion of NAPoLEoIq, communicated by himself, and comprising a nar rative of the voyage to, and residence at, St. He. lena, their manner of living, and the treatment they experienced. With an Appendix, contain• ing a letter of Count Las Cases to Lord Bathurst, written from Frankfort.
